Superhero Picture Books for Boys – Pow! Zap! Boom!

Superheroes are a perennial boy favorite and we didn’t have a superhero list in our best books for boys series. Horrible ommision!

So let’s take care of that little problem right now. Our first superhero list is for the younger set. We are featuring Superhero picture books that go beyond Batman and Superman.

We love to geek out on Batman in this house but I really like non-commercial books for young kids. These are very good and a lot of fun to read.

Our favorite is Traction Man is Here and if you have not read it yet, be sure to check out the details below.

Superhero books and boys are a natural together and we are glad to be able to bring you this super awesome, boom, pow, zapping list of books.

Superhero Picture Books

Let’s start off with a cuteness alert. Ten Rules of Being a Superhero is “super” cute and colorful. It is also a good way to get in a number list from 1 – 10 for a bit of math. Younger boys will enjoy the rules of being a superhero. Superhero rule #2–Saving the Day is Messy 🙂 A fun read.

Pirates, dragons and saber-tooth lions are not going to stop Bumblebee Boy. But in The Amazing Adventures of Bumblebee Boy he just might need a sibling’s help when the aliens get to be a bit too much.

If you are looking for a colorful entertaining superhero book for all ages give SuperHero ABC a try. The words are wonderful and the illustrations rock. For example under A – “Astro-man is always alert for an alien attack” plus the words avoids, asteroids, asthma, awesome and alien. I love alphabet books . . . if you do too try this post.

We had not read this one before but I really like it! The illustrations have a bit of an old-fashioned feel to them but are modern at the same time. The ending is a bit expected, but cute none the less. The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man is a winner.

This is a new addition to the superhero list but it actually looks like book from many years ago. Little Golden Books put out How to Be a Superhero which is a short and amusing rhyming superhero book. Watch the release video for an idea of the style and more info.

I saved the best book for boys for last. Well, at least we think it is the best of the bunch. Traction Man Is Here! is so good. We have read this book a ton. It starts with a gift and the adventures take off. Traction man sets out to save the day in his super cool outfits, until . . . a gift from Grandma sort of cramps his style. Keep in mind that Mini Grey’s books are a tad odd–but in a good way! She has a quirky style of writing and illustrating that we really enjoy. Highly Recommended!
